𭻁遊（上音田尚書云畋于有洛之表孔注尚書云畋獵也顧野王云從禽也何休注公羊云畋搜狩之總名也古者肉食衣服禽狩皮故謂獵為田也說文作田云獵取禽狩為田除害也象四口十者阡陌之制也亦從犬作𤝗）。

𭻁遊 ('hunting excursions'): the first character is pronounced tián. The Shangshu says: 'Hunting (畋) beyond the River Luo.' Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: '畋 means hunting game.' Gu Yewang says: 'It means pursuing beasts.' He Xiu's commentary on the Gongyang [zhuan] says: '畋 is the collective term for hunting and tracking in the seasons. In ancient times people ate meat and wore the skins of beasts, hence hunting was called 田 (field/hunt).' The Shuowen writes it as 田 and says: 'Hunting to capture beasts to eliminate harm for the fields. It depicts four 口 (plots) and a 十 (ten), which is the system of field paths.' It is also written with 犬 (dog) as 𤝗.
